Answer to the question. Just unlucky. Almost every baht bus has someone hanging out the back. I have never seen anyone done but in Thailand it is the exception that is the rule.. Have a seat if it is possible and forget about the silly stuff. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

This is one of those Catch 22 questions. Here has been my experience for the last few years. I would book direct whenever I could but as you may be aware the Flight Centre has a 'Best price' policy. I spend a few days trawling the internet looking for the best deals and then copy and paste to my agent. They have never turned down a potential booking. The bottom line is therefore: I get what I believe to be the best price. I have a real person to talk to if I need advice or if there is a screw up. Because I am a regular booker they havnt invoked the 1.5% credit card fee.This is impor

One thing that I have realised about English is that it is just as tonal as Thai. The entire sense of a word or sentence can alter on the curl of a lip, twich of an eye and by raising or lowering the volume or accentuation.

Good start to my day again.

Good response. I will say this about the TURPS procedure. There has been a lot written here about new or experimentsl procedures. As will all medicine many things improve over the years and good luck to anyone who get cutting edge help. The thing to remember here is that, as your GP and surgeon will tell you "You will know when the time is right". In other words there will be a time when you bite the bullet and get the gold standard as it exists now and dont put things off for some possible improvement thhat might never happen or may not be available where you live.

Arrived two days ago and concluded that the best way to handle the phone issue is to call into AIS at the airport and talk it over. The plans are forever changing and what was right in the past might not be now. For instance I use my phone for a Hotspot for this computer and other phones.Its a simple two minute transaction to get a plan, pay some money that covers a top up for the phone as well as 30 day coverage.

The new bars at the top end of MIT back onto Treetown. I was wondering if this was part of the plan that these bars would eventually become part of the development.

Remember that the topic was TURPS. Turps is not cancer. It is the result of a normal aging process. Anyone with prostate issues will most likely have been checked, tested and dosed with pills long before an operation is performed. Divorce the two issues and remember that one issue does not have to be associated with the other. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Wow! As you say, time flies especially when you are having a good time. Sorry but I will miss this by a few days but will hoist a beer or three. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Yes it is simply a bar/restaurant. It fronts onto Soi Buakhao. The outdoor seating is very comfortable colonial cane. It is dead! Almost no customers. It sells all beers all night for 85 baht. The band is very good and plays mainly rock. Poor bugger belt it out all night for the flies. All the foregoing was correct 5/6 weeks ago and unless the place has closed or the band buggered off it will be the same now. One other thing is that it shares a communal toilet that requires you to walk around the building block. I had someone follow me to make sure that I didn't leave owing my 85 baht! If you

Interesting! Do you use the Cebu website or some other site? I would like a long weekend there but not paying over the odds to get there and back Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Lots of condoms?

My luggage got lost and I was advised to go to the office just across from Immigration. In my case my luggage had been sent to Bangkok but I had to stay in Melbourne. I was advised that they had no knowledge of it and myself and two others in the same position were gutted. On a hunch I went for a walk outside the office and found all of our baggage. I admit that I am one of those people who like garish suit cases with multi colored straps and because mine was easy to spot I ended up knowing what the officials didn't. There is a message here.

We are not talking about an intrusion. What worries me is anyone who has had the none peeing problems traveling. It is bloody painful as well as dangerous and the chance of getting an infection from a catheter is quite high. The problem is that there is no one solution fits all for the problem. Like yourself I have been there and while my experience is different from yours I still suggest that anyone who has doubts about travel simply doesn't till they have a permanent solution.

As I pointed out out earlier in the thread, it's not waking up to have a pee that is the problem. It's not being able to pee at all and not knowing when it could happen. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

All the comments regarding new forms of treatment possibly will lead to better outcomes for this problem. For me the problem in getting my head around the problem is as follows. The operation is caused basically because the prostate keeps growing and cuts off the flow of pee. Unless there is some system that will shrink the prostate gland then you will still have to look to the standard operation. The secondary issue is that even after an op the prostate can keep on growing and you may need a second op. The same would apply I assume if all you did was shrink it and this is the nub point. Are o

I usually have the 199 baht Sunday meal. It is more than enough for me and while not as good as the Queens Arms is still good value for money. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I really have little to add to the topic other than the following. Most Farangs that I know would say that perhaps the most mediocre eaterie in Pattaya is Kiss. For me when I want a substantial snack the club sandwich and chips at under 100 baht is fine. The strange thing is that in the last few months I have been asked on 3 occasions by Thai girls to take them there and have had no complaints. I would never have thought of talking someone there but this experience is changing my thinking. Perhaps mediocre has a different meaning to different people? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

There are dozens of of hotels and boarding places in the area. Just book one night somewhere in the area and then have a walk down the street and poke your nose into areas and places that look interesting to you and in the area that you want. It's worth the effort and you might find the perfect place to stay. I did this 5 years ago and it worked for me. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I too have run into the problem where bars refuse to change an off beer or even a chipped bottle. I wonder if this is also about losing face? I have now accepted the fact that if a draft ale is off then I just walk away but try to not leave a tip. One other problem that this mail has thrown up is that it also casts doubt on eating at Lee's which I assume has some skin in the game. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Good report Evil. This place is constantly renewing itself as it never took off. This has caused a lot of places to close within months of opening. I do recommend the Thanya Bar for a comfortable seat, reasonably priced drinks and a great band doing the rock classics. I also wonder about the long term plan and note that the new bars in Made in Thailand back onto the project. One thing I do know and that is that the area used to be a rat infested wasteland before they tried to make something of the area. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

One place that seems to have a good reputation is the Indian restaurant almost next door to the Cherry Bar in Soi Diana. I believe Member Bushcraft is an affectionado of the place. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I won't attempt to answer the question because I have never been to an Indian restaurant in Thailand. What I do know is that most Thai restaurants serve the sort of curry made with coconut milk and I have never had a bad one. The same rule applies to Cambodia and Laos. Give them a try and you will find some great food for 100 baht or less. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
